Who says sunglasses season is over?
In Scotland, we’re lucky to enjoy bright, crisp winter days and sun = sunglasses, even if it's not 'taps-aff' temperatures! Low winter sun can be dazzling, whether you’re driving, or enjoying some golf, running, or cycling. And if you’re heading off somewhere sunny, you’ll definitely want a pair you love.

We stock stylish, high-quality sunglasses all year round, offering great protection from harmful UV rays. So pop in and find your perfect pair, your eyes will thank you. 😎

📸Here is our lovely patient Jim picking up his Silhouette frames.

This Christmas, thousands of local children will be living in poverty. Many are at risk of waking up with nothing under the tree.

We are teaming up with Mission Christmas to help change that. We’re getting ready to help reach children who might receive nothing - making sure they have something special to open on Christmas morning.

If you are able to donate a gift, please ensure all gifts are new and unwrapped and are for children aged 0-18 years of age - presents for boys aged 7+especially are always desperately in need.

Please drop any gifts off to the practice from today.

Thank you!

World Diabetes Day, 14 November

Today is World Diabetes Day, a reminder of how crucial regular eye examinations are for those living with diabetes. Diabetes can cause changes in the delicate blood vessels at the back of the eye. These changes often occur without any pain or noticeable symptoms at first.

At McLeish Eyecare in Musselburgh, we use advanced imaging to carefully monitor eye health and detect any early signs of diabetic eye disease. Our team is here to help protect your vision and support your long term eye health.

If you have diabetes, please ensure your routine eye check is up to date. Early detection can prevent sight loss and give you peace of mind.

Book online or give our friendly team a call.

Frames make you look good but lenses make you see well
Frames may get all the attention, but it’s the lenses that make the biggest difference to your vision. Here are some of the options we offer to tailor your glasses to your lifestyle:
🔵 Single vision - perfect for everyday wear, whether that’s distance, reading, or screen use.
🔵 Varifocals - smooth, seamless vision at all distances, with no need to swap between pairs.
🔵 Occupational lenses - designed for computer work, helping reduce eye strain and improve posture.
🔵 Thin and light lenses - more comfortable, especially for higher prescriptions, with a slimmer look.
🔵 Photochromic (light-reactive) lenses - these darken outdoors and are clear indoors, perfect for changeable weather.
🔵 Anti-reflection and blue light filters - reduce glare, improve comfort, and help with night driving or long screen hours.
🔵 Polarised sunglass lenses - cut glare and give sharper vision outdoors. Ideal for driving or holidays.

Your lifestyle is unique, and your lenses should be too. Ask us which options would suit you best at your next appointment.

👂Protect your future with a hearing test
Let’s talk about something just as important as vision, hearing health.
Hearing loss can happen gradually, and many people don’t realise they’re missing out on the sounds of life, conversations, music, laughter, and more.

Regular hearing checks are just as important as sight tests as early detection makes a big difference. You can now visit us for both examinations so it is more convenient than ever.

Whether you’ve noticed changes in your hearing, or just haven’t had it checked in a while, this week is the perfect time to start.

🎧 Book your complimentary hearing check with us today by calling 0131 665 2876.

Do your eyes feel uncomfortable?
If your eyes often feel gritty, sore, watery, or tired, you could be experiencing dry eye.
It is a common condition, especially in Scotland where wind, weather, and screen time play a role.

We offer tailored advice and treatments to help you find relief and keep your eyes comfortable day to day. We’ll work to find you a long-term solution. Please don’t ever feel like you’re wasting our time. Having the opportunity to help improve day-to-day lives is why we work in health care.

If your eyes just don't feel quite right, please book an appointment even if you aren't due your regular check up.

⭐ We’ve been shortlisted! ⭐
We’re absolutely thrilled to share that McLeish Eyecare has been nominated and shortlisted for the Scottish Optometry Awards!

Bringing together Montgomery Optometrists and IJ McLeish Opticians into one new home has been both challenging and incredibly rewarding. Seeing our team and patients unite under the McLeish Eyecare name in our beautiful new space has been a true highlight.

Our success over the past year is a proud reflection of the strength of independent business, and as the only independent practice in Musselburgh, this recognition means so much to us.

We’re excited for what’s ahead, and being named Independent Practice of the Year would be an amazing honour for our whole community.

🤞 Fingers crossed for the awards next month!

Did you know cataracts are the leading cause of vision loss worldwide?
Cataracts can make your vision cloudy, like looking through a frosted window. The good news: they are treatable, and regular eye exams help us monitor changes so we can advise you at the right time.

A simple check-up could make all the difference. Everyone should have their eyes examined at least every two years and more frequently if advised, or immediately if you notice an issue or change in your vision.

Please don’t delay in booking your eye examination.
